Macon More Than Just Fast
Big Red quarterback utilizes the pass as well as his legs
By MIKE HUGHES POSTED: August 25, 2008

After watching Steubenville Big Red's Dwight Macon lead an offense for 48 minutes of football, the options for words to describe his performance are numerous.

Just don't call him a running quarterback. Simply, quarterback will suffice.

True, Macon can and will tuck the ball and go and Coach Reno Saccoccia isn't hesitant about sending in plays designed to keep the ball in his young playmaker's hands.

He runs with speed and elusiveness and can make even the best defenders miss.

But running with the ball isn't what defines Macon's ability as a quarterback. There's much more to the Big Red second-year starter's game than sprint outs, options and designed runs.

Take Thursday's season opener against Indian Creek for example.

Macon was directly involved in four of Steubenville's five touchdowns in a 34-0 victory, but only one of those four came as a result of a quarterback run.

The team's leading rusher as a sophomore after totaling more than 1,200 yards, Macon was credited with five rushing attempts against the Redskins. The result was 24 yards, including the 7-yard, first-half touchdown.

Then there's his passing stats.

Macon threw for 154 yards and three touchdowns on 10 of 15 passing. Statistically speaking, that's a completion percentage of nearly 67 percent and a QB rating of 218.9.

Effective, accurate, poised in the pocket. Those aren't terms that describe a typical ''running'' quarterback. But those words do describe Macon's performance.
